As the sharp winter storm in its face, grace withers without adversity. - Samuel Rutherford
"Some forms of homosexuality today are... not just homosexuality but a philosophic expression. One must have understanding for the real homophile’s problem. But much modern homosexuality is an expression of the current denial of antithesis. It has led in this case to an obliteration of the distinction between man and woman. So the male and the female as complementary partners are finished. This is a form of homosexuality which is a part of the movement below the line of despair. In much of modern thinking all antithesis and all the order of God’s creation is to be fought against — including the male-female distinctions. The pressure toward unisex is largely rooted here. But this is not an isolated problem; it is part of the world-spirit of the generation which surrounds us. It is imperative that Christians realize the conclusions which are being drawn as a result of the death of absolutes." -Francis Schaeffer, ("The God Who Is There", 1968)
The wisdom that is from above is not only pure, but peaceable and gentle; and the want of these qualifications, will spoil the savour and efficacy of our labours....'—John Newton
